Ike Missing

After seeing the devastation and hearing of the lack of evacuation, I've been afraid we'd see this story emerge. The Houston Chronicle has posted a list of 331 people who have been reported as not seen since Hurricane Ike. http://www.chron.com/databases/ikemissing.html

From the home page of the data source:
The Laura Recovery Center is providing a hotline to report information on people missing as a result of Hurricane Ike. This data is actively shared with appropriate law enforcement agencies.

When using this data, please consider that things are still very confusing in the wake of Hurricance Ike. Some data may be inaccurate or incomplete. Please help us improve this data. We are updating and verifying the data as our resources allow.
